There seems to be one for sale every week or so..just keep an eye, they seem to go for $200 or less.
I knew i wasnt losing my mind! As I mentioned, I thought soemoen else did this awhile ago. A69, are you going to try to merge this info in as well i assume?
Already done a while back...I know he may have some more DCRA #'s on his personal file.
I have ph5c sight assy,just need the eyepiece/peep sight part that screws into the horizontal slide
Just getting ready to list this one for sale in the EE but someone had a WTB post looking for one so I sent a PM to him.
I thought it was #1183 but it’s #1182 so you can update my numbers if you like Airborn 69 and sorry about that.
It’s a Brit. Receiver FTR’d and updated to No4Mk2.
The FTR serial number on the bolt and receiver match as does the DCRA numbers on the bolt, barrel and receiver.
(this photo taken by the last owner as I have not had it apart)
It has the correct CA 7.62 mark on the end of the barrel and of course no bayonet lugs.

Don`t forget to add #409, my 1943 Long Branch
See http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showpost.php?p=3257087&postcount=130
It was a UF55 A-- number. Sold it a gent in Sask. with the initials J.T. I believe!
I don't have the conversion number unfortunately. I did see one with the same PH markings and from the same serial range a few weeks ago. It was conversion number 113.
One thing I regret not doing is keeping a book with details of what I bought, where, when and for how much etc.

Twin zero peep
As I posted before, the TZ/47 peep sight that is s/n 44 belongs on a DCRA.
The conversions were of later dates, the web site I added has the whole story of the sights. Collectors should know the rarity of it, everyone wants it cheap to put it on a.22. There's a reason its mark 7.62mm and made in 1947.
I don't have are rifle of that caliber, the one that it is mounted on is for sale.
The peep works on a .303 but should be on a .308 enough said.
PM me if you know someone that needs a perfect peep.
Cheers

Also seen: 1135 barrel only and 1522, Long Branch 1944.
Used to have 704, 194? Long Branch. The P.O. took the barrel off with a pipe wrench and twisted the receiver like a pretzel! I think it was a 1944, IRRC.
Can I suggest the list be organized by number, not CGN 'handle'? Makes more sense if people are trying to find one or match up parts etc.
Oh, and did I post this one: "RRCo. #1182 /BSA-FTR' 52" Doesn't ring any bells with me.
